Police say a would-be robber hit a snag when his getaway driver pulled away before the suspect was in the car.
Alonzo Fleischer, 22, of Butler is accused of walking out of Walmart in Butler Commons on Aug. 5 with a $550 55-inch TV. While attempting to load the television in a waiting vehicle outside, the drive pulled away causing the TV to fall out of the vehicle.
Police say Fleischer ran away and did elude arrest for a short time…but police eventually caught up with him.
He’s been charged with retail theft.
